Make space to enjoy this new season
Lift the weight of postpartum depression or anxiety
Bringing a baby into the world changes everything.
Along with the love and joy comes exhaustion, sadness, and worry you didn’t expect. Things that used to feel simple, like resting when you’re tired, being patient, or trusting your own instincts, suddenly feel harder. On top of that, there’s pressure to “enjoy every moment” and endless advice coming from every direction. Instead of feeling supported, you’re left feeling guilty, overwhelmed, and alone.
Postpartum therapy gives you a calm, supportive space to untangle the noise, be honest about your feelings, and find steadier ground for yourself and your new baby.

What is Postpartum Therapy, and How Can It Help?
Postpartum (sometimes called the fourth trimester) is the period after having a baby when everything feels like it’s changing at once. Your body, your emotions, your sleep, your relationships, and even how you see yourself can all feel different. There are so many sweet moments, but there can also be days when you feel drained, on edge, or like you don’t even recognize yourself anymore.
For many new moms, this can look like postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or even postpartum rage, with feelings that can be confusing, overwhelming, and hard to talk about. And when you go looking for help, you’re often met with advice about feeding schedules, baby sleep, or what “good moms” are supposed to do. Instead of helping, it can leave you feeling more alone and unsure.
Sometimes what you really need isn’t more advice, but someone who sees you and can listen without judgment. That’s what therapy for new moms is here for.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to start. Using proven and effective methods like mindfulness-based therapy, CBT, and compassion-focused therapy, we help you sort through the heavy emotions, quiet the inner critic, and find strategies that fit your life.
Postpartum therapy is a safe place to talk through the messy, unfiltered side of this season, let go of some of the guilt, and find steadier ground. Together, we’ll help you breathe a little easier, trust yourself more, and enjoy this chapter without feeling like you’re just trying to survive it.

How Do I Know If I’m Struggling With Postpartum Issues?
Every new mom’s experience looks different, but common signs include:
- Mood Swings: One minute you feel okay, the next you’re snapping or in tears and not sure why.
- Anxiety & Overthinking: Worrying nonstop about your baby, your choices, or if you’re “doing it right.”
- Postpartum Depression: Feeling heavy, sad, or disconnected from yourself or your baby, even in the good moments.
- Sleep Struggles: Lying awake even when the baby’s asleep, or never feeling rested, no matter how much you get.
- Postpartum Rage: Bursts of anger or frustration that feel out of character and hard to control.
- Loss of Identity: Wondering where “you” went and feeling unsure of who you are outside of being a mom.
- Guilt & Shame: Thinking you “should” feel happier or more grateful, and beating yourself up when you don’t.

Questions About Postpartum Therapy
Is what I’m feeling normal after having a baby?
Yes, and also no. Many new moms experience mood swings, anxiety, sadness, or rage, but just because it’s common doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it. These feelings can be pronounced when you’ve come through the experience of a difficult pregnancy or birth. Postpartum therapy helps you make sense of these feelings and find ways to cope that actually work for you.
What if I don’t know if it’s PPD or just “normal” stress?
You don’t need a label to ask for help. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, or just feeling unlike yourself, therapy offers support and clarity so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Can therapy really help when what I need is more sleep?
Absolutely. New parents often struggle with exhaustion, but it’s not only about the hours of sleep you’re getting. Therapy can help ease the worries, mood swings, and overwhelming thoughts that keep you awake even when your baby is finally resting. By calming your mind and reducing stress, therapy supports you in finding moments of real rest, so both your body and spirit can begin to recover.
What will we talk about in postpartum therapy?
We can talk about anything that’s on your heart. That could be the pressure to “enjoy every moment,” your relationship with your partner, fears about your baby, or simply how overwhelmed you feel. Our sessions are tailored to you, using a blend of compassion and proven approaches, like mindfulness and compassion-focused therapy.
Will therapy take time away from my baby?
Therapy is a commitment to your well-being, but it doesn’t mean choosing between your needs and your baby’s. Sessions are flexible and online, so you can access support from home. Taking time for yourself helps you show up more present, grounded, and connected in your role as a parent.

The Difference Support Can Make
Postpartum therapy can’t take away the sleepless nights or the ups and downs of early motherhood, but it can help you feel steadier, calmer, and more like yourself again. With the right support, you may start to notice changes like:
- Fewer emotional ups and downs
- More restful sleep and a little extra energy to get through the day
- Saying “no” without the guilt
- Feeling more confident in your role as a parent and as yourself
- More kindness and patience toward yourself
- Feeling closer and more connected to your baby and the people you love
- Finally making sense of what’s happening in your mind and body
- A stronger sense of trust in yourself and what kind of parent you want to be
